Goal/codes: Ask a child-owned question and describe one encountered part/material/property; SFU03 partial, SFI01, SFI02; SFH01 only actual example.
Prepare: One approved broad cloth/pad or PLAN. Before feature accessible; material reliable label or UNKNOWN. No press required today.
-
Notice · 3 min. “What do you notice? What would you like to find out?” Child chooses a visible or safely felt part, or the described PLAN. Welcome a spontaneous child question; offer “What happens when we let go?” only if a prompt is useful.
-
Name · 4 min. Adult names exact local item/source and known material or UNKNOWN. “A fold changes its shape; it may still be the same cloth.” Child chooses one word for a property encountered, without identifying hidden filling.
-
Try or plan · 7 min. Child chooses one welcomed gentle action or a before-only look. One actor at a time; director/no-touch/report/model route complete. Ask for a prior idea before any chosen action. Pause or finish if the useful feature is unavailable.
-
Make meaning · 5 min. “What did you notice about your chosen part?” Child makes a small drawing, points, signs, uses AAC or dictates a phrase. Teacher adds access/status, not an invented result.
-
Share or keep · 4 min. Child keeps it private or tells a willing adult their question and one observation. If the adult responds, record the actual response only if useful; no audience required.
-
Next · 2 min. Choose keep question, choose a new one, or finish. One shared phrase plus child idea is enough.
Teacher keeps: one useful shared source/stage phrase or sketch, relevant individual idea/response and support; actual direct/report/model status. Add missing facts only if needed for the claim. Do not fabricate a prior prediction, physical trial or willing audience.
